Chapter 302 Bounty
The sun was shining brightly in the morning, and Tang Jiusheng rode a bad horse on the official road leading to Zijunzhou slowly. He accidentally met a small magistrate who was out patrolling. Although the magistrate was not small, he shouted and sang the gong to open the way. Because he was hiding slowly, Tang Jiusheng almost got the stick of the servant. Tang Jiusheng really wanted the magistrate to roll down from the sedan chair and kneel down. Then he thought, he would rather forget it, after all, he came out to seek abuse.
Then Tang Jiusheng remembered the fact that he was named the king. He saw that other princes in the Great Shang Kingdom were so glorious and grand. He was domineering in the fiefdom. When he returned to the mansion, he hugged the beautiful women from left to right, and went out to group of servants, huddled in front of him, and was generous in appearance. He also had to bring a group of martial arts masters behind him, for fear of being a little hurt.
Let’s look at myself, who is also a prince, he is simply the cheapest prince in the Da Shang Dynasty. He cannot stay in the fiefdom palace to enjoy his life, but ride a broken horse, wander around the world, looking for abuse. Why? It’s not because of the Tianxuan Jue.
让人又爱又恨的九转天玄诀,被高手揍一顿才升境够快的九转天玄诀,暂时不能接近女色的九转天玄诀.唉,凌南影大妈创造的九转天玄诀,实在是太狠了.
Before he could reach Renxian County, his stomach was already roaring. Tang Jiusheng said to himself, "It's time to have lunch!" Then he gently whipped the inferior horse under his crotch, "My man, work harder, we have to hurry up and eat!" The inferior horse rushed straight to Renxian County.
Renxian is a small county town, with more than 130 miles of Junzhou City. After lunch at Renxian, if you are ruthless, you can almost kill Zijunzhou City at night. However, after looking at the weak horse under your crotch, Tang Jiusheng smiled and forgot it. This guy can't stand such a long struggle. Looking at the map, Renxian County has more than 60 miles and there is a small market town. Let's just spend the night there tonight.
After running on the official road for half an hour, Tang Jiusheng finally arrived outside Renxian County. The walls of Renxian County were low and the city gate tower was not high. There were a few thin garrison soldiers standing in front of the city, leaning on old rusty iron spears, looking at the people entering and leaving the city. Tang Jiusheng laughed in his heart. He could starve the soldiers to this kind of starvation. It seemed that the county magistrates in this place must be very fat, and I don’t know how much oil they could boil.
Tang Jiusheng urged the horse to pass through the low city gate and came to Renxian City. The small county town was just three streets and six alleys. Tang Jiusheng casually found a restaurant that looked pretty good in the center of the city. When he saw the big golden characters on the sign, Juxian Restaurant. Tang Jiusheng immediately remembered Zhu Juxian, and jumped off the horse with a smile. As soon as he took off the bag and carried it on his back, a young man came over and took the horse away and tied it to the back trough.
Tang Jiusheng entered the restaurant door and saw that the first floor was full of customers. A waiter who was thin but smart, looked very smart. He greeted him with a towel on his shoulder with a smile on his face, and said with a warm look: "Oh, this young master, you haven't come to our restaurant for a long time. Please invite the private room on the second floor!" He lowered his waist and asked Tang Jiusheng to the second floor, "Oh, young master, are you treating me today, or are you alone?"
Tang Jiusheng has always disliked such false politeness, so he said casually, "Don't be so polite. I feel uncomfortable when I hear this. I am the first time I come to your restaurant!" When the waiter heard that his words were inconsistent, he didn't dare to say anything more, but just asked him upstairs. Tang Jiusheng went upstairs and didn't ask for a private room. He found a small table next to the window. As soon as he sat down, the waiter handed over the recipe.
Tang Jiusheng didn't read the recipe, so he ordered a plate of beef with sauce and a vegetarian dish. He ordered a pot of hot rice wine and sat by the window waiting for the dishes. When the waiter saw that the young master was not going to the private room, he felt that he had no money and left with his mouth pouted. Usually, people in the private room called the girl who sang music, and the restaurant made money. This person sat outside and obviously wouldn't ask the girl to sing music.
While waiting for the dishes, Tang Jiusheng looked around. There were three private rooms on the second floor of the restaurant. There was a private room in one private room. There was a female singing song while playing the pipa. It seemed that she was singing about her memories. Tang Jiusheng was not very interested in these things. He turned his head aside and looked again. There were five private rooms in the lobby on the second floor.
There are big tables, four small tables, and there are two large tables with guests.
Beside the big table inside, there were five scholars eating and drinking, and they were all from Zi Yue Shi. On the other big table with guests were four men from the world, with their own weapons, one sword, two sword, sword, short spear, and punching orders. It was so happy. Tang Jiusheng turned around and looked out the window, and saw that the Xu family restaurant opposite the building was deserted, with few people, and the shopkeeper was sitting at the counter with a sad face.
Looking at the street, there were all kinds of snacks, such as baked potatoes, fried tofu, cakes and steamed buns, and all kinds of candies... People came and went, and it was lively. The waiter quickly brought up the two dishes and rice wine, "Customer, your dishes are all, please use them slowly!" and went downstairs. Tang Jiusheng nodded, without saying much, sat by the window, eating and drinking, and was so comfortable.
As he was eating, someone behind him suddenly laughed and said, "As far as I say, even if I know that eating Tang Jiusheng's meat can increase the martial arts realm? Now they are the prince of our Da Shang, so how can ordinary people have the chance to see him? Besides, he is a martial arts master. Even Zhu Tianba, the four demons, has been cleaned up by him. Just a few of us tied together, which is not enough for him to beat him with one hand!"
Tang Jiusheng almost spit out a sip of wine. What? Eating my meat can increase the martial arts realm? Looking back, the person talking was a man drinking on the big table next to him. This man was of medium figure, wearing a gray suit, and had two swords beside him.
I saw another man with a sword beside him smiled and said, "Long Si, as the saying goes, you can win the strong and win the weak! The waters in the world are deep. What if any big demon wants to eat Tang Jiusheng's meat, are you afraid that there is no way? Those who are ordinary martial arts should not think about it, but those who are really capable and cannot break through after being stuck in the realm for many years. Eating Tang Jiusheng's meat can break the realm. Don't they want to try it?"
Tang Jiusheng was quite surprised. Who made this rumor? After doing this, he became a living ginseng that could walk in the eyes of the demons in the world. From now on, he would be in peace! Tang Jiusheng stood up, came to the big table, bowed to several men in the world, and smiled, "Brothers, I have practiced martial arts for a few days. I admire the people who know martial arts the most. Today, I have invited the wine and food table of my brothers!"
Tang Jiusheng wanted to get close to the trap, and then asked these men what happened that eating Tang Jiusheng's meat could increase the martial arts realm. But the four men turned their faces and changed their color when they saw Tang Jiusheng. The man with two swords was scared and looked at Tang Jiusheng up and down, and said in a trembling voice: "Oh my god, isn't this the prince? Why did you come to such a small restaurant for dinner? Ouch, Prince, Long Si kowtowed to you!"
The man with two swords knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Tang Jiusheng. The other three men also knelt down quickly, "Kowtow to the prince!" The five scholars who were drinking on the table inside turned around and stared at Tang Jiusheng with big eyes, not knowing what happened.
Tang Jiusheng really didn't expect that it would be recognized by others so easily. Tang Jiusheng smiled awkwardly, "Four brothers, please come up quickly. Have you recognized the wrong person? I am not a prince, my surname is Sheng, I am just a passing guest..."
Long Si, who used two swords, got up from the ground, grinned and said respectfully: "Oh, Prince, if you say your surname is Sheng, it would be even more wrong. Look at it!" As he said that, he took out a large piece of paper from his arms and slowly unfolded it. It was painted with Tang Jiusheng. There were two images, all of which were all in front and behind. Even the inferior horse and the burden he carried were painted.
It was also indicated in small calligraphy next to it that Tang Jiusheng claimed to be his surname Sheng. Those who provided information about Tang Jiusheng would be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, and those who could capture Tang Jiusheng alive would be rewarded with a reward of five thousand taels. The signature was Wanhua Villa. Long Siyi pointed to the bag on Tang Jiusheng's table and smiled and said, "Prince, even if you don't admit it, this bag cannot be wrong!"
Tang Jiusheng took a breath and thought, who is this? Isn't this a big deal? I've painted the image before and after I put on the face. How familiar is this to me? Then I thought, maybe it was Qiu Yunong, a bastard.
Bulishi, this guy couldn't handle me, so he came up with such a bad idea to harm me! Tang Jiusheng smiled and said, "Since my brother said that, can you lend me this painting to take a closer look?"
Long Si respectfully handed the painting to Tang Jiusheng. Tang Jiusheng took it and looked at it carefully. From his appearance to his expression, he painted everything in detail. This was obviously everyone's work. Qiu Yunong really didn't have these tricks. Tang Jiusheng was puzzled. Who is this? He could draw so exquisitely, obviously he had observed Tang Jiusheng up close, but Tang Jiusheng really couldn't remember who had sat so close to him.
Wu Xiaodie and He Yiming were obviously excluded. The two people in Wansie Villa also clearly stated that they wanted to be friends, and there was little chance of harming themselves. Could it be that they were in the magistrate of Shou'an? But the magistrate obviously did not know martial arts. Besides, he was crazy and framed a prince who could not only take off his official hat but also his head? Tang Jiusheng looked at the painting and fell into deep thought. The four people next to him did not dare to sit down, and they all stood aside and looked at Tang Jiusheng.
Long Si asked with courage, "Prince, if you don't dislike it, I, Long Si, will treat you to lunch this afternoon!"
Tang Jiusheng shook his head and joked: "No, I'll let me serve this meal. Four brothers, please don't be polite. Please sit down first. Today I'll invite the four heroes to dinner. When you chat and brag in the future, you can say with integrity that Tang Jiusheng has invited us to drink!"
Several men laughed and the tall and thin man with his sword bowed, "The prince, named Wei Qinghe, is a Taoist from Hedong. He has always admired the prince's name for a long time. I am so lucky to meet today!"
Tang Jiusheng smiled, "Brother Wei, I'm lucky! I can't say that I'm a big name, it's just a false name!" Tang Jiusheng sighed, took off his face, and smiled bitterly: "Since I've painted the image of me wearing face and not wearing face, I'll just stop wearing face!"
The four men looked at Tang Jiusheng's true face and cheered together. Long Sida laughed, "The prince is indeed handsome and elegant, and he is so handsome than this painting!"
The man in Mai who used a short gun smiled and said, "Who said it was not! Oh, Prince, my name is Yuan Lang, and I am our Jiangnan Taoist clan. Prince, you are all aware of it in our Jiangnan Road. Everyone knows it. Thinking about the past, you were a scholar of both civil and military at a young age, and now you have been named the King of a different surname. You are simply the pride of our Jiangnan Road!"
Tang Jiusheng quickly said modestly: "Brother Yuan, I'm too rewarded. My king is pure luck!" After a few words with the four of them, Tang Jiusheng asked the waiter to serve the dishes again, ordered two jars of good willow-leaf green wine, and the few of them drank happily. Tang Jiusheng toasted the four of them, and the four of them were flattered and returned to Tang Jiusheng.
Tang Jiusheng was drinking on the table, and he was not at ease. What he really cared about was where the painting came from. Tang Jiusheng asked with a smile: "Brother Long, I just want to know where this reward painting came from in your arms!"
Long Si said in surprise: "Prince, don't you know? I heard that since the day before yesterday, martial arts people from nearby counties have received this painting, saying that someone who can find the prince can use this painting to bring the prince's exact news to Wanhua Villa in Zijunzhou to receive a reward of 1,000 taels of silver. Those who can capture the prince alive will have a reward of more, five thousand taels of gold!"
Tang Jiusheng smiled bitterly and joked: "Well, the price is high enough, it is very sincere. Even I feel tempting when I hear it. Why don't I tie myself up and exchange it for 5,000 taels of gold flowers."
Long Si laughed, "Your Majesty, you are joking. So what if Wanhua Villa offers a reward of 10,000 gold? But who dares to kidnap the vassal king of the court? Isn't that equivalent to open rebellion?"
Tang Jiusheng shook his head, "Brother Long, there must be a brave man when he is rewarded! The price has come, and some people may be able to do anything!" Tang Jiusheng suddenly felt dizzy and just said, "No, the wine and food are poisonous..." and fell on the table. Long Si and the other four also felt something was wrong, and fell on the table one after another, without knowing the personnel. Five scholars on the table inside were frightened at the time.
